Happy Pulaski Day

[acmespaceship]

Chicago in early March is the Land of Freezing Drizzle.  What better time to party?  This year it's all mashed together like a black hole: Casimir Pulaski Day, Mardi Gras, St. Paddy's and the lingering effects of Chinese New Year.  There are leftover Peking noodles in the fridge but tomorrow is paczki day and tonight they're serving cajun tapas at our favorite BBQ/Mexican spot (no I am not making that up).  The Uke Club can't keep up: do we play When the Saints Go Marching In?  Or My Wild Irish Rose?  Or, more likely, both.  Perhaps at once. 

Casimir the headless musket gunner.  Poland's bravest son.  They can still see his headless body ride with Washington, in the muzzle flash of Casimir's musket gun...

Whatever holidays you're celebrating, have a great one!

My daughters commented about having today off and not knowing who Pulaski was, other than the reason they have the day off (not quite true, they knew he was a Polish general who came over during the Revolutionary War).

I gave them to assignment to find out more about Pulaski and be able to tell me about him at dinner tonight.

Brilliantly played.
